They, are greater in number but usually smaller in size and are divided in to nine groups or phyla Q2: Discuss features of Insects. > Insects are the most abundant animals on the Earth. > They are divided into two groups: flying insects and non-flying insects. > Wings are used for flying. > The body is divided into head, thorax and abdomen. > They have three pairs of legs, two pairs of wings and one pair of antenna, >. They have an exoskeleton made up of chitin. > The insects have different types of mouth parts which ate adapted according to the mode of feeding. > The study of insects is called as Entomology. : Common Examples: Mosquito, Honey bee, Flies, Dragon fly, Cockroach, Butterfly-etc. Q3: "Define metamorphosis. Explain its types. Metamorphosis a ‘A process in which series of gradual changes occur which help to transform larval forms.:\ into adult forms are collectively known,as Metamorphosis. These changes are’ influenced ‘by hormonal and physiological activities. ADAMJEE COACHING CENTRE BIOLOGY ~ IX (Book ~ 1) 67 CHAPTER -7 Metamorphosis is of two types: 1- Complete Metamorphosis In which larva hatches out of the egg and develops into adult by passing through the Stage of pupa and all these forms do not resembles with the adult. Example Butterfly, Mosquito. 2. Incomplete Metamorphosis. « In which larva hatches out of the egg’and develops into adult without passing through the stage of pupa and in all the forms young ones are closely resembled with the adult Example Cockroach, Termites, Grass hopper etc. Q1: Write four characteristics of Phylum Protozoa. Characteristics of Phylum Protozoa: 1 BODY STRUCTURE All protozoans are unicellular, eukaryotic microscopic living organisms and capable of performing all life activities. ji. EXTERNAL SHELL. ‘Some protozoa living'in sea water secrete a'calcium shell around themselves; for’ example: "Foraminifera", ii, NUTRITION ‘ Food intake takes place by means of simple diffusion while inside the cell “Lysosomes' perform the function of. "Intracellular Digestion.” iv.
